MISS SILVER, EXCEPTIONAL SLEUTH
Miss Maud Silver had originally been a governess, and she still looked the part, but for a good many years now her neat professional card carried the words PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. As she knits for innumerable nephews and nieces, wearing her woolen stockings and slippers with beaded toes, she shows Detective Sergeant Frank Abbott of Scotland Yard something about finding a murderer.
Death Comes Twice
Anne Jocelyn had been dead three and a half long years. Philip himself had carried his wife's limp body to the grave. Now he and the young and lovely Lyndall Armitage were falling in love. Soon they would be married and Lyndall would become the new mistress of Jocelyn mansion.
But then, on a cold winter night, the beautiful Anne walked into Jocelyn mansion--very much alive!
Lyndall was torn by her love for Philip and her loyalty to his wife. But was this woman Philip's wife? An eerie mystery surrounding Anne's death begins to unfold.
MISS SILVER, the spinster sleuth, sets her lethal mind to the task of solving the bizarre mystery, and soon discovers a terrible plot of deception and betrayal, a plot which threatens Lyndall's life.
